be made by BLM responsible officials regarding borrow pits on public lands. The <br />decision is within the scope of the Resource Management Plan and is not expected to <br />establish a precedent for future actions. The decision does not represent a decision in <br />principle about a future consideration. <br />6. Be directly related to other actions with individually insignificant but <br />cumulatively significant environmental effects. <br />This is a stand -alone project. There are no projects with significant environmental <br />impacts known to BLM that would result directly or indirectly from implementation of <br />this project. <br />7. Have adverse effects on properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National <br />Register of Historic Places. <br />No Historic properties are present in the proposed expansion area. <br />8. Have adverse effects on species listed, or proposed to be listed, on the List of <br />Endangered or Threatened Species, or have adverse effects on designated <br />Critical Habitat for these species. <br />There are no listed or proposed plants, fish, or wildlife species or critical habitat <br />impacted by this project. <br />9. Have the potential to violate a Federal law, or a State, local or tribal law or <br />requirement imposed for the protection of the environment. <br />This decision complies with other Federal, State, or local laws and requirements <br />imposed for the protection of the environment. <br />10. Have the potential for a disproportionately high and adverse effect on low income <br />or minority populations. <br />The minority and low-income populations of the county are small relative to state- <br />wide averages and such populations are dispersed throughout the county. Therefore, <br />no minority or low- income populations would suffer disproportionately high and <br />adverse effects as a result of the Proposed Action. <br />11. Restrict access to and ceremonial use of Indian sacred sites by Indian religious <br />practitioners or adversely affect the physical integrity of such sacred sites. <br />The Ute have a generalized concept of spiritual significance that is not easily <br />transferred to Western models or definitions. As such the BLM recognizes that the <br />Ute have identified sites that are of concern because of their association with Ute <br />occupation of the area as part of their traditional lands. No traditional cultural <br />properties, unique natural resources, or properties of a type previously identified as <br />being of interest to local tribes, were identified during the cultural resources inventory <br />
